Travelers' Rest Historic Site [MT]

The Lewis and Clark expedition camped here twice during their historic journey to locate the elusive Northwest Passage in 1805 and 1806. For countless generations before that Indian people used this area as a camping crossroad.

A second website for the site, maintained by the Travelers' Rest Preservation and Heritage Foundation, can be found here.

The site offers tours, educational programs, workshops, and occasional recreational and educational events (including living history events).
